A brochure from the MediaMarkt chain appears on Reddit where the frequencies of an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 processor are quite portrayed when inventing the frequencies of an AMD Ryzen XNUMX XNUMX processor and indicate that it uses Intel Smart Caché.

Check out what just broke on Reddit. The AMD subreddit is arguably one of the most active in the hardware world, where the most interesting news and firsthand information are shared, often picked up by the media (including us). Well, the latest thing we've seen is a curious piece of hardware news. When we say it's better to go to specialized stores, where you can buy quality equipment or at least realistic brochures, we mean it, unlike MediaMarkt's invention with an AMD Ryzen processor.

We all know his 'I'm not stupid' campaigns, well, today MediaMarkt, in the Netherlands, the team shown in the following photo has been a bit ridiculous after publicizing one of its brochures. The first wrong thing is the processor, where it indicates that the equipment in question carries an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 with a frequency of 2.48GHz, when the base frequency of this processor is 3.0GHz base and a Boost mode of 3.7GHz. The frequency may be a simple error, worse to indicate that this processor has 2MB Intel Smart Cache seems a joke in bad taste, in this case.

This computer caught our attention, so we looked it up online and found it . The price of €1299 is explained by several factors. First, it has a 1TB HDD running at 5400RPM, which is essentially a laptop hard drive. Furthermore, the SSD is incorrectly listed; it's a 256GB SATA SSD, not a PCIe. Another absurdity is the graphics card: an NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB, a mid-range card for a high-end processor. It all seems quite illogical, to be honest.

We will leave aside the observations regarding the assembled hardware, we will simply say that, these things are what happens to leave the interns in charge of the printing of the brochures. It is not the first time that MediaMarkt has messed it up in a big way and it will not be the last, but… and the laughs we had.
